    Roof rack and basket

    I used four conduit straps on mine. I guess they are pretty much the same as u bolts. Drilled holes through the stock rack bars and bolted the rack to those.

    gear ratio 93 explorer

    If for some reason the sticker isn't there or you suspect the gears have been changed, you can jack up the rear and turn a wheel 1 rotation. Count how many times the driveshaft goes around. It helps to make a mark on the DS so it's easier to count. Good luck

    ttb dana 44 and 9"

    Just wanted to share what I picked up this weekend for a nice $175. Both came off a full size 86 Bronco. I don't even have a welder yet but I thought that was a screaming deal and couldn't pass it up. Let the swapping begin.

    Stalling out

    Yea, I have one of those adjusters on my Mustang. I got it through Ford years ago when I had a similar idle issue. It took a lot of fine tuning to get it set, but knock on wood its been... 9 or so years and no more idle problems.

    Replacement driveshaft question.

    Anyone know what size that nut is? Biggest socket I have is 1"... its gotta be 1-1/8" at least if not bigger...

    Replacement driveshaft question.

    Okay, so I think I have a same issue as the original poster. My crappy GKN driveshaft went out this weekend on the interstate. So today I went to the you pull and got the only non-GKN driveshaft they had on a B2. It was out of a 88 4x4 auto and mine is an 89 rwd 5 speed, however lengths look to...

    Largest tire on stock wheel?

    Those look the same as the ones that came on mine stock. My door tag has 15 X 6, and one of the wheels actually had 15 x 6 stamped on it. I only saw it when I took off the beauty rings.

    My 89

    Same thing happened to me. I just cut the eyes off the explorer main leaf and added my stock B2 leaf to the explorer pack.

    explorer front coils

    I added some spacers (1.25" worth) under the front springs but didn't get hardly any lift (.5" maybe). I have read on here about people using Explorer coils for some more lift. I know 91-94 on the years but I didn't know 4wd or 2wd ones, if it even matters. My local junkyard says there are a...

    Hatch struts.

    I got mine at Rockauto pretty dirt cheap... like 8-9 bucks a piece I think?

    coolant issue now

    Freeze plugs possibly? Maybe just a tiny leak that evaporates or pools even and drips off while you are driving? Worth a check... I think there are two on the front of the heads, two on the back, and 2 or 3 on each side.

    Explorer hybrid leafs are in

    Just wanted to share some info/pics from my Explorer leaf spring swap. I used the whole explorer spring pack, with my BII main leaf and painted the whole stack Ford red. Before ground to fender lip was 29". Now measures 32". I was hoping for an inch or so more of lift so I have some Belltech...

    u bolt size

    I don't know the answer to your question... But I was gonna mention that you might want to think about new shocks while you were under there. Just in case you hadn't... I forgot and now have to go back and do that.

    side mirror swap

    I did a search but could not find anything... I know I should probably be content on what I have... but I'm not. I have the small plastic side mirrors and I really like the metal mirrors with the bracket. Most Bronco 2s and Rangers I see have these. Anyway, I want to do this swap, but I know...

    Aftermarket Radiator doesn't fit 1990 B2

    A few weeks ago I replaced my 89 B2 radiator with one from an Explorer. I ordered it through RockAuto. I got one for an automatic Explorer with A/C. This version is a 2 row radiator. It is pretty much a direct swap except for having to cut some holes in the fan shroud for the tabs to fit in. The...
